Small town of Fryazino, Moscow region witha population of just over 60 thousand people is famous not only for its scientific and technical institutes, but also for its amazing nature. Thousands of tourists, fishermen and just lovers of quiet, beautiful places with a rich history come here every year to the famous Barsky Ponds in Fryazino. More recently, local residents were afraid that the old street, along with the estate, will be built up with high-rise buildings and shopping centers, but it was decided to include this territory in the protected zone of the historical and architectural heritage of the region.
The Legend of the Ponds
Каждый уголок в России имеет свою историю, partially or fully embellished with colorful moments and famous characters. That and the history of the street Barsky ponds has a rather convoluted and controversial basis.
Locals are very eager to tell.We are visiting the most popular legend about the origin of these reservoirs. Like, they were dug in the 18th century by the henchmen of the famous Russian rebel Yemelyan Pugachev, convicted to hard labor. This theory is supported by the fact that there are names that are not familiar to this region, but are typical for the Volga region: Subbotins, Zinichyna, etc.
Однако некоторые краеведы отмечают the artificiality of this theory, claiming that the legend was invented back in Soviet times, when family ties with people who once fought with royal power, were considered good. Others believe that the story originated in the middle of the XIX century, with the beginning of the spread of literacy in the villages near Moscow. And they came up with or remade her local history teachers.
Assumptions
There are ancient sources - "Scriptbooks ”, which tells about the history of this region already from the XVI century. This source mentions both the village of Fryazino and a large pond near it. So, Pugachev could not have had anything to do with digging this reservoir.
Definitely a story of digging Barsky pondsFryazino and the inception of the island are associated with the name of one of the closest to Catherine II, General Alexander Ilyich Bibikov. But it remained a mystery how and why this legend about the Volga bunatry appeared. It is likely that for merits in the redemption of the Pugachev rebellion, in which Bibikov participated, he was granted land on the Volga. And that the general brought some of the Volga peasants to Fryazino, and they spread the idea of the participation of convicts in large-scale construction.
Until the end of this mystery has not been solved.On the one hand, there is a historical document that speaks about the presence of a pond a hundred years before the start of the Pugachev rebellion, on the other - several generations of people who grew up on the legend of convicts and who do not know another truth.
Lyuboseevka River
Барские пруды Фрязино не могли бы существовать without a small but picturesque river Lyuboseevka. The total length of the river is 12-14 km, it flows through the town of Fryazino, it affects several neighboring villages. Lyuboseevka - a source of water for the entire area. On the shore is the largest enterprise of the city. A dam was erected here, and two technical and three ordinary ponds were made.
Many tourists are interested in the question of whetherswim in the Barsky ponds of Fryazino and the Lyuboseevka river. For the last 10-15 years, the water in these places has practically fallen into disrepair, physicians are sounding the alarm, noting outbreaks of disease among both animals and fish, and among people. Local residents are not recommended to swim in the ponds, but this call is not always respected.
The most picturesque place - Barsky pond, historywhich is associated with the general of Catherine’s time, Bibikov, then with Dmitry Trubetskoy. Along the banks of the river are ancient churches, as well as the famous estate Grebnev, which today is a place of federal significance and is protected by law.
The history of the estate Grebnev
The masterly ponds of Fryazino attract tourists with theirunusual and spirit of old Russian estates. With the enormous efforts of unknown workers, probably serfs or prisoners, a huge pond was dug, and two islands were laid, one of which has survived to the present day. According to some reports, an English garden was laid out on one of the islands.
The manor is a grandarchitectural ensemble. For more than three hundred years of its existence, he passed from one owner to another, rebuilt and changed. Under Prince Trubetskoy, who was an associate of Pozharsky, large-scale hydrotechnical work was started on the Lyuboseevka River.
The manor which has reached todayReceived under General Bibikov, who built a large house, house structures, as well as the church. The next owner, Prince Golitsyn, had a very impressive state, so he took up the transformation of the estate with particular enthusiasm. Two outbuildings, an entrance arch and Nikolsky temple were built.
The sad fate of one manor
This place is not always lucky with the owners.In 1845, the estate goes to the merchant Panteleev, who arranges the plant for the production of vitriol in the palace interior. With such a barbaric appeal, the interior of the manor house was significantly damaged and was partially restored only by the next owner of the estate, merchant Kondrashov, who was originally a peasant in the village of Fryazino.
In the new century, a new life begins at the manor.Doctor Fyodor Grinevsky organizes a sanatorium here, which turned out to be very helpful, since most of the representatives of the Moscow intelligentsia, due to the outbreak of World War I, could not go to popular European resorts and traveled with pleasure to the near Moscow region.
Current status and development plans

Since 1960, the rebirth seemed to beginfamous estate Grebnev, here come writers, artists, going to art history conferences. An attempt was even made to reconstruct, but in 1991, unexpectedly and for unexplained reasons, the manor burned down almost completely. Many spoke of this fire as a popular way of buying out land in those years. But the site, and the ruins of ancient buildings and are without proper attention. Moreover, in 2007, a new fire occurred, which destroyed the roof and finally destroyed the building of the stables.
